NFL Week 3 Game Recap: Green Bay Packers 14, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 12

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers won the battle of great quarterbacks by downing Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 14-12, in Week 3.

Offensive spotlight: Both teams were dealing with injuries on offense, particularly at receiver, but it was Tom Brady’s receivers who were hit harder and struggled more in this game. They only actually cost the Bucs a pair of drops, but there were numerous other instances where they weren’t quite on the same page or able to secure the catch.

Defensive spotlight: De’Vondre Campbell made the game-winning play in the end zone, breaking up a pass that would have tied the game on a two-point conversion. Campbell tipped the ball away a full stretch and continues to look like he will back up the All-Pro season that came out of the blue last year.

Rookie spotlight: Defensive lineman Logan Hall, Tampa Bay’s top pick in this year’s draft, had his best game as a pro this week. He recorded a 19.1% pass-rush win rate and got to Aaron Rodgers at a few key moments in the game to keep the score close.

Offensive line spotlight: Green Bay finally saw the return of left tackle David Bakhtiari, but they didn’t ask him to play the entire game in his first action back. He split time with Yosh Nijman, who has been filling in admirably in his place. Both players allowed just one pressure in the game.
